Any tips for dressing babies who hate it

(2 Posts)
Could you let her choose her clothes? I know she's young but she could pick colours and maybe pick a few things herself. Even if this results in some strange combinations, it doesn't really matter. I let mine pick out their clothes very early and they went out looking a bit of a state sometimes, but really who cares? They can only get away with strange colour combinations at that age.

Make it into a race? Can we get dressed before this TV programme finishes/kettle boils?

Dress her and her doll/teddy at the same time?
I think this may be one of these things we just have to ride out until she's older, but I'd thought I'd ask anyway.

She's a year old and just HATES being dressed. Hates having a nappy change (have moved to pull ups) and distraction, toys and saying her favourite things or pulling faces doesn't really help. She screams, cries, twists, kicks and just now pulled my hair!

She is beginning to understand things a lot more and speaks a good few words, but obviously the concept of having to dress and why is a little beyond her.

Any ideas?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
